Visa Interview Experience:

I had my interview on counter no. 13 with a female interviewer. I have heard before that she was tough and she rejected visas for the 2 people in front of me.

I got my visa lottery picked in 2016. I had to join second master's program when my H1B application wasn't picked in 2015 lottery which was a big blow and I knew I would be in big trouble when I visit India.

Visa interviewer started the conversation by asking me questions about my second masters and my CPT.

Q1. Did I change Universities?
Q2. Did I use CPT during my masters program, if so when?
Q3. How I switched from CPT status to H1B status
Q4. Who is my petitioner?
Q5. Who is my client? (I work for a govt agency so that was an advantage I thought)
Q6. What is my salary?
Q7. Do you intend to complete your Master's program (second masters)?

She said my visa is approved, there are no issues with my application but she needs to check something with my student status and stuff.

Case Created: 26th May
Case Last Updated: 30th May, Admin Processing
Case Last Updated: 6th June Case status didn't change but the the last updated date changed. (I knew my case was moving forward in a positive direction)
Case Updated: 7th June, status changed from Admin processing to Issued.

I was closely following the experiences of others and I found that the cases in hyderabad with similar situations as mine were processed rather quickly. I knew when my case was updated on June 6th that my status would change from Admin processing to Issued in the following day.

Good luck everyone who is waiting for their visas.
